[VERSE 1]
C                Em
Old man was it worth it?
        B            C
Was it all that it seemed
         C            G               Bm
Did you ever find a carcass of your dreams?

        C               Em
Oh you must know I was young
      B             C
The fear I had not yet outrun
              C              G              Bm      C
Though I was never meant to hurt you, but I do,
      Bm   A
But I do…… oh


[CHORUS 1]
             A                             G       Am
It’s got a hold of me and it keeps coming away
Em                                       C
And you were always looking at me from afar
           D
I can’t change
         Em            C
I’m a stranger to my nature
           C          G   D                 Am
Would you love me anyway, if my head don’t talk right
                       C
Don’t let me down old man

[VERSE 2]
              C                   Em
Through the swollen eyes of your Ritalin,
               B                  C
It’s like a stranger's standing over me
               C                  G            Bm
Some kind of faceless beast that watches as I sleep

               C                Em
Now there’s a hard lump in my throat
             B                       C
And all the best times that you’ve ever known
               C            G           Bm
Are all just faded off the back of my sanity
     C
Oh please
   Bm       A
I made you weep


[CHORUS 2]
             A                             G       Am
It’s got a hold of me and it keeps coming away
Em                                       C
And you were always looking at me from afar
           D
I can’t change
         Em            C
I’m a stranger to my nature
           C          G   D                 Am
Would you love me anyway, if my head don’t talk right
                       C
Don’t let me down old man

Em     C             Em
          I want It back,
 C                     Em
I left the seed of a memory
    C          Em               Bm
And I wondered if I’ve come too far
